Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has been making the rounds amid the rioting that has taken place in Los Angeles County - including in parts of her Congressional district, over the last several days. As per the norm, there has been the predictable gaslighting, histrionics, theatrics, and Republican Derangement Syndrome that we've come to expect over the years from the entrenched Congresswoman. As RedState reported, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) put on his best Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) persona in a press conference Tuesday when he was asked about Waters' denial of the violence happening during the LA riots. "I'm just...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif) warned "Trump is provoking the folks who depend on the government taking care of them to rise up and strike back. By breaking the covenant between them and the government they've relied on their whole lives he's put them in a desperate situation where their only option is to fight back." "Just think of the single moms who need money to take care of their children," Waters urged. "The retirees waiting for their Social Security checks to put food on the table. The government employees who depend on their paychecks to support themselves and their families....

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is once again accusing President Donald Trump of trying to start a civil war, the accusation coming as he works to deliver on his campaign promises to the American people. During a recent issues retreat in Virginia, Waters claimed his policies regarding cutting government waste, firing many federal workers, and imposing tariffs had a more sinister goal, the Hill reported on Friday. According to the outlet, Waters said: This president is putting us in a position where hungry people are going to be on the street. Where nonprofits, who were waiting for their checks, are not...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said that President Donald Trump “misused” some of the guests at his speech Tuesday night — including the angel families who lost their loved ones to illegal immigrant crime and the young boy battling brain cancer. “Pretty awful, and I really did not like the way he used the tragic incidents and the families that were there, who, of course, appreciated, you know, what they think is their president caring about what happened,” Waters said, implying that Trump does not actually care about these individuals. “You know, to the 12-year-old, and to others who were victims,...

Parody of Maxine Waters living it up, using "Jolene" song. The coin is all she cares about. Funny

If there’s one thing that has sent the Dems into a full-blown meltdown, it’s DOGE investigating waste and fraud. And now, we’re getting a crystal-clear picture of how Dems have managed to keep their wildly unpopular agenda alive—by treating government programs like their own personal piggy bank. Elon and his team are just scratching the surface, but what they’ve already uncovered is enough to make any taxpayer’s blood boil. One of the biggest offenders thus far is USAID. This over-funded, shady organization has been caught red-handed funding fake news, bankrolling CIA-backed color revolutions abroad (and let’s be honest, probably here...

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (King James Version) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. Who to believe about corruption in Moscow on the Potomac, Elon Musk or Mad Maxine? Such a tough decision when you look at all the Dems protesting him and Trump vs the career politicians who...

Silicon Valley Bank was closed by the FDIC due to the bank losing over 60% of its value after the company disclosed major losses from security sales.

At a House Rules Committee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) spoke about a resolution on socialism.

Republicans and conservatives don’t call Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) “Mad Maxine” for nothing. Waters has said some pretty absurd and outrageous things over her decades of “service” in Congress, including her claim during the 1992 Rodney King riots that some of the looting taking place was justifiable because mothers needed milk and new shoes for their kids. “One lady said her children didn’t have any shoes. She just saw those shoes there, a chance for all of her children to have new shoes. Godd**n it! It was such a tear-jerker. I might have gone in and taken them for her...

Sam Bankman-Fried, according to Victor Davis Hanson, “may have robbed perhaps a million investors, and along with them hundreds of large institutional investors.” He “protected from federal securities regulators, had drained off, lost, hidden, or spent billions of dollars of other people’s money.” Now his dear friend Maxine Waters (D-Incitement), who was caught on video blowing him a kiss in December 2021, will be leading an investigation into his sleazy FTX Ponzi scheme as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee. Waters initially stepped on a rake when...

Waters’ message to her members came at a private Tuesday meeting on Capitol Hill, with part of the discussion focused on Bankman-Fried’s possible testimony at the committee’s Dec. 13 hearing. Bankman-Fried has yet to agree to voluntarily testify to the House committee.

It’s worth taking a glance at the numerous figures, especially Democrats, who buddied up to the former crypto tycoon over the years. ... Not that long ago, Sam Bankman-Fried was on top of the world. Sporting a net worth of approximately $15.6 billion, Bankman-Fried was the CEO of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform launched in 2019 that had accumulated more than a million consumers by 2022. At 30 years old, he was extremely successful — that is, until last week when he was exposed as a con artist. After a Nov. 2 article from the digital currency news site Coindesk...

Maxine Waters (D-Calif), who was photographed posing with FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, was asked if she would give back her share of the ill-gotten gains.

FNC's Tucker Carlson asked Tuesday night how it could be that Rep. Liz Cheney's net worth increased from $7 million to $44 million during her six years in public service as a member of Congress... TUCKER CARLSON: Well, it's primary night in the state of Wyoming, and you know what that means.
